XSPF Web Music Player

It's a nice flash mp3 player developed by Fabricio Zuardi , thanks to him we can use his opensource code and use it on our sites. You can find the sample of this on the right frame of my site, with some of the songs i've been listening to this week very intently and singing silently and with some hand movements (specially Viva La Vida by Coldplay) whenever and wherever it's playing.

It uses xspf or a "spiff file", an xml shareable playlist format. You can learn more here:

You can learn more on this web MP3 player from his site at sourceforge:

Yahoo Messenger! Power User

I have been invited by Yahoo to be a power user! YaY! Yahoo is rewarding account users who has been using Yahoo! and Yahoo Messenger! for quite a while and who has been using it frequently and has huge amount of contacts on their accounts, which fortunately i am. Anyway, being a power user has privileges. Remember the old IRChatting days were you get a + or an @ sign (OP) meaning your an operator or a valued member, well it's basically like that you get a trophy or a crown or something beside your name on the contacts list so your friends will see. You get some new avatar stuff exclusively for power users. And best of all is that you get Tech support from Yahoo for free.

If you want to be one plus you want to know the other benefits of being a power user, please check this link: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger9/pwrusr/pwrusr-01.html

Also they give you this nifty script on my right side plugins wherein you have an online status display whether i am online or not on Yahoo Messenger.  Coolness.

Cheers!
